north and south, is exactly rectangular in shape and contains
378 square miles of territory or 241,920 acres. It is in the
very best agricultural tract in the west.

Johnson County is bounded on the east by Nemaha County;
on the north by Otoe; on the west by Gage; and on the south by
Pawnee. It is divided into seven precincts known by the names
of Sterling, Helena, Spring Creek, Vesta, Nemaha, Lincoln, and
Todd Creek.

It should be noted that a map by W. L. Dunlap Co.
Clerk and Ex. Co. Surveyor July 9, 1884 also shows precincts named
Western, Center, and Maple Grove.

Johnson County Genealogy on the NEGenWeb is a team effort...
I would like to introduce you to the team. The order of introduction
is by no means related to the importance of their effort.

Judy Ryden was typing for the Johnson County web site.
Judy's last project for us was Johnson County's section of the Who's
Who of Nebraska in 1940. She's now moved on as a county coordinator for the NEGenWeb.

Bill Wever was the Johnson County coordinator until his retirement in early 2015. We would like to thank him for his wonderful service and
help to the NeGenWeb and Johnson County!

NEGenWeb was formed in June
1996, when Dale Schneider created the Nebraska Genealogy Project
as a part of the USGenWeb Genealogy Project. At that time, there
was very little available on the web for those who were researching
genealogy in Nebraska . Over the next year, volunteers were recruited
to coordinate the web pages for each county. These volunteers
were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally
oversee the contents of the county web pages, which would include
listing information on where to look in that county for genealogical
research. Contact the volunteer shown on the county page if you
have a desire to help or add your data to the database. You may
notice a message on a county page indicating it is available
for adoption. If you would like to adopt one of these counties,
please contact the current coordinator of the page, whose name
is listed on their county site, or the State Coordinator.
